Ancient Aliens Live in Nashville, IN

/ Roadtirementvintage / 10 Comments

Ancient Aliens Live had a live show in Indiana. It was a fantastic experience. It was held at the Brown County Music Hall, in downtown Nashville, Indiana.

Under the screen you can see chairs.

We’d been watching Ancient Aliens by the History Channel on YouTube. We really like watching the show and we’re so excited to see that the live show would be close to us. Fortunately we got tickets.

Ancient Aliens Live is an experiential extension of the history channel show. It explores the theory that extraterrestrials have visited Earth for thousands of years.

It was so interesting and these experts have so much knowledge! We totally loved it.

The show featured leading Ancient Astronaut theorist Georgie A. Tamales, investigating mythologist William Henry, UK government UFO investigator Nick Pope, and ancient civilizations expert Jason Martell. They made it a fun experience.

Waiting for show to begin

If they are near you, we highly recommend this.

Rain and wind

With all the bad weather I thought we should check in and say we’re ok. Indiana had several tornado warnings, including Shelby County. We got lots of rain and wind.

Below is a short video I took out our front door. You can hear the tornado warning siren.

I was only out for a few seconds, then we headed for our safe place in our home.

Be safe!

Beef & Boards Dinner Theatre Presents Frankie Valli and the Four Seasons in Jersey Boys

/ Roadtirementvintage / 2 Comments

Now on stage at Indy’s beloved Beef & Boards Dinner Theatre is the Tony Award winning story of the music and successes of Frankie Valli and The Four Seasons. Those of us who experienced youth in the 1960’s will be treated to a bit of time travel. You will find yourself once again immersed in the tune and lyrics of  “Sherry”, “Walk Like a Man” and “Can’t Take My Eyes Off You”, among many other hits.

 

The highly energized and very talented cast will keep your attention glued to the stage. Not only are the song offerings superbly performed, but the behind the scenes storylines explain in detail the ins and outs of the history of the group. The good times and the dark times are artfully presented. This story also details the fascinating secret of the group’s maintained 40 years of friendship.

 

 

Jersey Boys is rated PG-13 and is on stage through April 13. The performance we attended was a sell out, and tickets are selling quite quickly. Please see the complete performance schedule as additional showings are likely to be added. To buy tickets online, visit beefandboards.com. Tickets are also available by calling the Beef & Boards Dinner Theatre Box Office at 317.872.9664.
